It isn’t the same one, but similar. Note that the kicking team can never advance a recovered free kick.

Obviously, I have no idea what happened. But that AD has some serious stones, that’s for sure.

Do we count schools that no longer exist? If so, I need to go beyond Harrell’s site.

Team K players are prohibited from blocking imtil the ball has gone past R’s free kick line (10 yds) and been grounded. Those 2 requirements can be satisfied in any order. K is also free to make contact if R initiates contact first on K’s side of R’s free kick line, or if R touches the kick. The foul is for an illegal block.The penalty is 10 yds., though, not 15, for K initiating contact early. However, if the contact could also be considered targeting or a blindside block, both are 15 yd. penalties. Could this possibly be the play you’re talking about? https://url.us.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/69CACkRDl5svXDGI2fOCGvV2K?domain=hudl.com

I’m going to have to do this. After 47 yrs. of officiating, I’ll bet I can get that number up pretty high.

Any sport. And use “witnessed” as liberally as possible. In person, a participant, on TV, listening to the radio, streaming, whatever. It just has to be something that left an indelible impression on you. I’ll be happy to start. I watched the 1973 Belmont Stakes only because Secretariat was trying for the Triple Crown. I know nothing about horse racing, and don’t even like horses. But when I saw Secretariat, well, I know an athlete when I see one … even if it has 4 legs instead of 2. What that horse did in that 2-1/2 minutes was the most extraordinary athletic performance I ever saw. It was the equivalent of Jim Brown rushing for 400 yds., or Babe Ruth hitting 6 homers in a game. It was spellbinding to watch. And I can still see that Big Red pile of muscle basically lapping the field. Gave me chills, knowing I was watching something that was absolutely unique.

I would love to know what the win percentage is for teams that have a special teams score.

Much better offense passing the ball.

This exact play occurred in the closing moments of a playoff game several years ago. The crew got it right … and were regularly downvoted by the losing coach for years afterward as a result. Because the foul occurred after the down had ended, and they were short of the line to gain after 4th down, the ball goes over. The 15 yd. penalty against the defense is then enforced from the dead ball spot. 1st & 10 after enforcement for Team B.

I was there. Total domination in every facet of the game.

And Crown Point scores after a 62 yd. pass play on the first play after the kickoff. Crown Point 12 - Merrillville 7 3:34 of the first.

Merrillville answers immediately with a quick drive of several big plays. Merrillville 7 - Crown Point 6 4:51 of the first.

Crown Point takes the opening kickoff and drives the length of the field, punching it in on 4th and goal from the 2. Kick was blocked. Crown Point 6 - Merrillville 0 7:06 of the first.

Thanks. That makes it a lot easier. But I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet. This weekend.

I have access to East Central’s Hudl video. When in the game did this fumble occur?

Can you help?

Tell me about the “blown fumble call.” I’ll hunt down the video. Might be useful for training purposes.

It’s noteworthy that the study is based on self reports of concussions, not medically-diagnosed concussions.

I once fired a clock operator at halftime … of a playoff game … found out it was a nun.

Many years ago I was working a game at North Judson. As I gave the ready for play signal, a bat landed on the ground about 5 yds. in front of me. Sure enough, they snapped the ball and the QB rolled toward me … and the bat. I kept one eye on the QB and one eye on the bat as the play ran. Somehow, the bat escaped being trampled and flew away before the next play. At that time, the local public TV station, WYIN, broadcast a game each week on tape delay. I was able to get home in time to watch the replay, and the bat showed up great. And no, I did not throw a flag for an “illegal bat.”

Most of the posts here are fairly serious. But believe it or not, lots of funny stuff happens in officiating. This topic is for folks to relate funny stories about officiating. If you’re an official, you can relate something that happened in game. Fans, coaches, players, media, etc., can chime in with something humorous they saw regarding the officials. Here’s the one place we can lighten up about official’s and officiating.

It was funny watching him pound the table. A little bit of “Old Brian” showing through?

I certainly hope I was wrong about Williams in my pre-draft assessment. And to date, he seems to be doing everything right, both on the field and in the locker room. Let’s not commission the statue just yet, though.

No rest for the weary. After opening against a traditional Ohio power and then taking on nationally ranked #10, the Eagles host Boyle County, the #1 team in KY this Saturday.
